8 miles

out, around lake a, and back; 8.3 miles; 1:21:40/140, 9:50 min/mi

My left leg achilles/calf thingy was doing better although I still feel it. My right leg was very stiff, especially my calf. It felt like I had a knot in it. I also had the same feeling in my right shin I get at the beginning of races. Finally, I was having a similar feeling in my right lower calf as I have in my left. Not sure what to make of it. Maybe my new shoes have a lower heel? Maybe the adjustments in form a putting more stress on my calves (which it probably should be to store and recover that energy instead of slamming my heel into the ground).

Got my buh-bump in the mail on Saturday. I tried it today, and it worked like a champ.
